Book Appraisals

The Library of Congress does not appraise old books. We realize, though,
that this is a topic of great interest to many people. We can suggest two
places to begin:

Your Old Books is a pamphlet written by Peter Van Wingen, our late
and sorely missed Rosenwald curator. It is a list of questions to ask yourself,
putting you on a path to discovering a book's value. An electronic version is available
through the courtesy of the RBMS Electronic Information Technologies Committee
(ad hoc), or we can send you a copy. Contact us using one of the addresses
provided below.
